Spread Thanksgiving cheer with GP Coleman's heartfelt message to members across Canada! 🍂🦃

As the leaves change and the air turns crisper, Canadians gather to celebrate Thanksgiving, a time of gratitude and togetherness. In the spirit of this festive season, GP Coleman extends a warm message to all members of the union. He emphasizes the importance of reflection and appreciation for the resilience and unity within our community. Thanksgiving isn't just about the turkey and stuffing; it serves as a moment to cherish what we have and acknowledge the hard work we all put in to support one another.

Coleman encourages members to take a break from their daily routines, to relax and enjoy the company of family and friends. With hectic lives sometimes pulling us in different directions, Thanksgiving is that precious time to pause, connect, and share our good fortunes. He reminds us that each member plays a vital role in the union, contributing to a tapestry of strength and support that uplifts everyone. It’s these small moments that truly make a difference, whether it's sharing a laugh over pumpkin pie or lending a helping hand to those in need.

As Thanksgiving approaches, Coleman invites everyone to reflect on the values of solidarity and gratitude that bind us together. It's an opportunity to acknowledge not only our personal blessings but also the collective achievements of our union family. These values are inherent in every interaction and endeavor, shaping a community that learns from each other, supports each other, and celebrates both individual and shared successes.

In this season of giving thanks, let's also remember that the impact of our unity extends beyond our circles. Like the last piece of turkey at the feast, we should also pass on our goodwill. With the winter holiday season on the horizon, it’s essential to keep the spirit of kindness alive throughout the colder months. As Coleman concludes his message, let’s hold onto gratitude not just for a day, but as a continuous lifestyle!

Interesting fact: Did you know that Canadian Thanksgiving celebrated on the second Monday in October predates its American counterpart? While the U.S. Thanksgiving traces its roots back to the Pilgrims in 1621, Canada's Thanksgiving dates back to early explorer Martin Waldseemüller who celebrated the harvest in 1578!

Notably, Thanksgiving in Canada is about recognizing the harvest season and giving thanks for the blessings of the past year. It's also a time when many individuals engage in community service, providing meals for the less fortunate, embodying the true spirit of gratitude and support during this bountiful time.
